90-year-old paralysed man dumped alive in graveyard by family (PHOTO)

Residents
of Mutomo Village in Gatundu, Kiambu County, Kenya were shocked to
find a 90-year-old man dumped alive near a graveyard on Monday, September 12th.

Samuel Kibure was dumped near Mutomo graveyard along Gatundu-Mutomo
Kenyatta road route where he was discovered by members of the public.
According to Kibure, he had been admitted at a Gatundu hospital and
later discharged.

He told Citizen Digital that he was taken to his
brother’s house at Karembu in Gatundu South on Monday night by his son
who lives in Nakuru. In the middle of the night, his brother’s sons woke him up, wrapped
him in a blanket and took him in their car where they dumped him near
the graveyard at about 2pm.

Kibure narrated how he had sold his land and property, leaving him
homeless, adding that his children later deserted him claiming he had
become a burden to them as his legs had been paralysed.

One
area resident told Citizen Digital that Kibure had been a prominent
businessman and worked for the ministry of Agriculture. The old man later began drinking heavily and sold all his
property. Area chief Mutheki Muiri was called to handle the case.
